Why bother with radar guns? Police officers don't need any of those newfangled gizmos to determine if a car was speeding. In accordance with the 2010 Supreme Court ruling, the visual estimate of an experienced police officer is enough to convict anyone of speeding, without the need for pesky wastes of time like independent verification and evidence. You can still be ticketed for driving at the limit due to weather conditions at the officer's discretion.
I don't like to speed, but since both NJ and PA traffic speeds like crazy it can force one to speed. Even in the slow lane, tractor-trailers do 75 on a 55 highway in the slow lane. If you try to go 55 on a NJ highway you will end up in the grill of a truck. Traffic safety research shows there are fewer crashes if the bulk of cars are driving consistently at around the same speed – even if it’s above the limit – than if a few faster cars are weaving though traffic, constantly changing lanes and passing other cars. So, maintaining the flow of traffic is a good idea – but it won’t get you out of a speeding ticket, it is a paradox.
Most speeders are not late or short on time, the leave home earlier is a fallacy blanket excuse cops often use to subject the little people. In reality, most speeders are just inpatient, leaving home earlier is not their problem or fix. Other than not speeding, the best thing to do is drive a non-flashy car and stay in the middile of a group (or school) or speeders. Cops can't pull over a whole group and will usually target either the fastest car, the last car in the school, or a car that sticks out like a bright red one. Anything that makes your car stick out will increase your chance of being pulled over, even if you really are not breaking any laws. Loud exhaust, bright or unusual colors, flashy, sporty, unusually model, etc. That is not to say cops usually pick out showy cars on purpose, those type of cars just get noticed more which can be bad.
